Dan Williams 0dba1314d4 scsi, block: fix duplicate bdi name registration crashes
Warnings of the following form occur because scsi reuses a devt number
while the block layer still has it referenced as the name of the bdi
[1]:

 WARNING: CPU: 1 PID: 93 at fs/sysfs/dir.c:31 sysfs_warn_dup+0x62/0x80
 sysfs: cannot create duplicate filename '/devices/virtual/bdi/8:192'
 [..]

This is a brute-force fix to pass the devt release information from
sd_probe() to the locations where we register the bdi,
device_add_disk(), and unregister the bdi, blk_cleanup_queue().

Thanks to Omar for the quick reproducer script [2]. This patch survives
where an unmodified kernel fails in a few seconds.

Linux kernel
============

This file was moved to Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst

Please notice that there are several guides for kernel developers and users.
These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file.

Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
